Chapter 117 Accountability (Two in One)
"What it is?"
Shiranui Genma asked as he looked at the scroll in Naruto's hand.
From the moment Naruto extended an olive branch to Neji, the initiative of this exam was no longer in Konoha's hands.
If it were an ordinary person, he would just have to judge the opponent out as a referee before he opened his mouth.
But the person in front of him is Uzumaki Naruto, who can defeat an entire ninja village by himself, so he dare not act recklessly.
It is not easy for Jiraiya, the Hokage, to intervene at the moment, otherwise Naruto's words would be confirmed. He can only, as the referee on the scene, try to obtain as much information as possible.
"The forbidden technique studied by Orochimaru, Reincarnation of the Dead, can help people change their bodies." Naruto said leisurely.
"Change a body? Steal a body, right?"
Genma Shiranui narrowed his eyes. He didn't believe that a traitor like Orochimaru could come up with anything good.
"Originally, Orochimaru was right to do this, and I also think it is inhumane..."
Naruto's mouth twitched, thinking that Shiranui Genma was really a good supporting actor: "But what if it was an unconscious clone?"
"Clone..."
Shiranui Genma frowned, not knowing what to do for a moment.
Given Konoha's position, he naturally couldn't sit idly by and watch Neci defect.
After thinking about it, he could only look at Neji and warn him.
"Although I am not qualified to advise you, I still hope you can think it over carefully... If a captured bird is smart, it will use its beak to peck open the cage door and escape."
Naruto scoffed, "Why? Does your bird have an iron beak? Can it peck open a lock?"
Shiranui Genma: "..."
"Besides, this is just the worst option. No matter how much you say, it's better for me to prove it to you directly."
Naruto slowly extended his hand: "Even if you don't want to leave with me, the worst that can happen is that you can put the curse seal on again. It's not bad to experience the taste of freedom for a short time, isn't it?"
These words seemed to have touched a nerve in Neji, causing his expression to suddenly turn cold.
He suddenly realized that from the moment Naruto invited him, he had no way out!
As a member of the branch family, his brilliance overshadows the heir of the main family. And according to Naruto, the Byakugan also has the possibility of evolving. So how will the main family treat him in the future?
Will you try to find the possibility of evolving the Byakugan in yourself?
Surveillance, house arrest...
As a corrupt family with a caged bird heritage, Ningji didn't dare to gamble on the character of the people in the main family.
And what if Naruto really unlocked the caged bird?
Do I have to type it again?
Are you kidding me? !
Thinking of this, Neji took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind, and strode to Naruto.
"If you can help me solve this problem, my life will be yours!"
"Then you just broke the curse, the cage is still there."
Naruto chuckled and raised his hand to put on Neji's head: "Don't worry, I'm not interested in men, you should keep your life for yourself."
Hungry ghost realm, start!
laugh--
The pale green curse seal that had been engraved on Neji's head for ten years twisted rapidly and was torn off Neji's body by a powerful suction force.
Naruto took his hand away, revealing Neji's smooth forehead.
In the stands, Hyuga Hiashi stood up suddenly, staring blankly at Neji's forehead.
The mark of the bird in the cage has disappeared!
It actually broke the bird out of the cage!
Neji also clearly felt that as if an invisible shackle in his head had dissipated, he felt inexplicably relaxed and clear.
He looked at Naruto in astonishment: "Successful?"
Naruto nodded, "Congratulations."
It’s…that simple?
"Ningji..."
Xiao Li stared at Ningci on the field in a daze.
He didn't know whether he should be happy or sad.
As a friend, Neji was actually happy that he could get rid of the caged bird.
But at the same time, this also means that Neji will leave Konoha and become a new rebel ninja.
"Yeah! Great job!"
She punches every day, but unlike Xiao Li, she doesn't care about that.
Unlike other cockroaches, Tiantian’s personality is just like this, simple, straightforward, and decisive.
Knowing the darkness of the Konoha high-level officials and the corruption of the Hyuga clan, but still preventing your companions from escaping the quagmire due to your own emotional factors, that is not being a friend, that is being selfish.
Perhaps because he comes from a wealthy family and has been well taken care of since childhood, although Tiantian is a little naive in character, his mind and world outlook are very sound.
Even when trapped in the Infinite Tsukuyomi, he was awake the longest, until the illusion found a flaw in his ideal, and was able to be controlled.
Although she also felt sorry about Ningci's betrayal of the village, who blamed the higher-ups and the main family for being such bad people?
"day by day!"
Might Guy held Tiantian's shoulder with a serious expression.
“Don’t celebrate here.”
"Oh, I see..."
Tiantian giggled and stuck out her tongue playfully.
Might Guy smiled and turned to look in Neji's direction.
Although he has a rather stubborn personality, his intuition is always very accurate.
He didn't know whether Neji's choice was correct, but he believed that his disciple would not go astray.
"Blind eyes!"
Neji activated his Byakugan and clearly sensed the scenery in the blind spot that he had been unable to observe due to the bird in the cage.
He could clearly see Hyuga Hiashi in the stands and the complicated expression on his face, and he could see Jiraiya's helpless expression.
"So...you have made up your mind?" Naruto asked with a smile.
Ningci nodded slightly: "Please take care of me in the future."
"And Mr. Referee?"
Naruto looked at Shiranui Genma: "Does Konoha plan to arrest this Konoha rebel now? Or continue with the exam?"
Shiranui Genma's face darkened.
What are you asking me for?
Who the hell can I call the shots?
Thinking of this, he turned to Jiraiya in the stands and looked for help.
Jiraiya's mouth twitched. He really couldn't continue to be the Hokage for another day!
But now that the mess was in front of him, he had no choice but to deal with it, so he stood up immediately.
"The death of Hyuga Hizashi was indeed the result of improper handling by Konoha's top brass. Therefore, as an apology, no matter what Hyuga Neji chooses, Konoha will respect it and will not label him a traitor."
"Tsk, that sounds nice, but you're just afraid that the adults will mess up Konoha!"
Xianglin curled her lips in disdain, not trying to hide her contempt at all.
"That's right! He forced someone's father to death and still acted like a magnanimous person! Hmm!"
Deidara laughed loudly, fearing that the world would not be in chaos.
"Don't talk nonsense, you little brat!"
In the stands, the Konoha ninjas were arguing.
"At that time, Hokage-sama had not yet taken over. This matter has nothing to do with Hokage-sama!"
"That's right! It's clearly a historical legacy of the previous generation of high-ranking officials! Don't compare Jiraiya-sama with the Sandaime, you bastard!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen: "..."
I am very happy that you can support Naruto...
But could you please not involve me next time?
"You little brat from Iwagakure, if you keep talking nonsense, I'll sew all three of your mouths shut!!"
"What did you say?"
Deidara was immediately furious: "Asshole! If you have the guts, go and scold that red-haired girl? The cowards in Konoha really only know how to bark like dogs! Hmm!"
"You¥%*@#..."
Jiraiya's eyes twitched. These two little brats are so annoying!
Ignoring the noise from the audience, Jiraiya cleared his throat as if he couldn't hear it, and waved his hand: "The game continues."
Shiranui Genma looked at Neji: "So are you ready to admit defeat?" "I admit defeat."
Neji nodded, since he chose to follow Naruto, he had no reason to fight Naruto.
Naruto also smiled and brought Neji to the audience seats.
The second game begins with Temari versus Jirobo.
Temari swung her fan wildly, and with two shots from the sickle itachi, Jirobo was knocked down.
Feeling the pain from the wounds on his body, Jirobo frowned.
He looked at Temari, then at Naruto, then at the referee.
"I surrender."
"What the hell do you mean?"
Temari's face darkened: "Do you look down on me, bastard?!"
"No, your ability is more restraining to me."
Jirobo shook his head: "Although I also have a trump card, but once I use it, it may seriously injure you."
Temari sneered, "Pretty confident eh? It's not easy for a big guy like you to hurt me."
Jirobo said honestly: "But it's easy for Naruto-sama to kill me."
"I'm not a weakling who relies on men, you bastard!"
Temari was immediately furious and picked up the fan to start fighting, but Shiranui Genma grabbed the iron fan and held it down.
"Jirobou admits defeat, Temari is the winner."
"The third match, Gaara versus Deidara."
Gaara stepped on the yellow sand and landed on the field, while Deidara jumped down from the stands.
"Game start!"
boom--
The yellow sand that covered the sky and the sun burst out and rushed towards Deidara.
Deidara leaped up and flew high into the sky on the clay bird.
"Hehe...I've been prepared for this move of yours!"
Deidara stepped on the back of the clay bird and smiled proudly.
Suddenly, the yellow sand below made a sharp turn and flew towards the sky.
Deidara waved his hand, and several clay exploding insects scattered, blasting the yellow sand into pieces.
One of them could fly, and the other had a lot of chakra, and they fought for half an hour.
It was not until Deidara had lost all the clay and ran out of chakra that he raised his hand and admitted defeat.
In terms of the current strength of the two, Deidara is actually slightly stronger, and can blow up the entire venue if he lets go.
But after all, it is not a life-and-death battle, so there is naturally no need for the two to fight to the death for a game.
Naruto looked at Gaara's gloomy expression and could still clearly see that he was unhappy.
Deidara's fighting style is indeed a bit disgusting for people who can't fly.
Although Gaara won, he also consumed a lot of chakra, and he might be at a disadvantage in the next battle against Sasuke.
Soon, as Genma Shiranui announced the start of the fourth game, Sasuke used the Lightning Release Chakra mode and Sharingan to instantly kill Shino.
At this point, there was no longer a Konoha Genin participating in the Chunin Exam hosted by Konoha.
Karin, who had a bye, fought against Sasuke and gave up directly.
In the second round, Naruto faced Temari, and Temari gave up.
When Gaara fought against Sasuke, he weighed each other's strength and his own chakra consumption and decisively gave up.
"What's going on? Why did everyone give up?"
“Could it be a shady deal?”
"Whether it's shady or not... that's Uzumaki Naruto. Even if the opponent doesn't give up, the result will be no different, right?"
The audience was talking a lot.
Rasa had no objection to this. Not to mention Temari, even if he went into battle himself, he would probably not be a match for Naruto.
When that kid was young, he was like a Buddha leading a dog, with a meatball in his hand, and he beat all the grass ninjas.
Now we have to take into account the bonus of the Rinnegan. Not to mention him, even if Hashirama Senju was resurrected he would have to get slapped in the face.
Why didn't Jiraiya pursue Ningci's betrayal?
Is it because Ningji is easy to talk to?
Shiranui Genma looked in Naruto's direction, "Then the final... Uzumaki Naruto versus Uchiha Sasuke."
"I abstain."
Sasuke said calmly, crossing his arms.
He doesn't have the habit of being tortured in front of so many people.
Naruto had corrected the bad habits of Sunlight Pillar during the training over the years.
Although Sasuke is still arrogant now, he is the kind of player who despises the enemy strategically and faces the enemy tactically, otherwise he would not be interested in Kurotsuchi's behavior of spreading lime.
"What the hell! If everyone gives up, what are we going to watch?!"
"Geneva! Refund!"
In the stands, the audience finally couldn't sit still anymore.
Some nobles who came from afar also looked unhappy.
"I haven't even seen Naruto's strength yet!"
In the stands, a female fan shouted.
"That's right, how about letting Naruto open a concert?"
Concert?
What a joke!
On the stands, Jiraiya felt a headache.
Although the outcome of the game was no surprise, it was not appropriate for everyone to abstain.
However, those who gave up were all contestants from other villages, which was not a bad thing for Konoha, which was eliminated in the first round. After all, Konoha lost all its face in this Chunin Exam.
"Well, since Uchiha Sasuke admitted defeat, the winner is Uzumaki Naruto."
Shiranui Genma announced the final winner of the Chunin Exam calmly.
At the same time, in the stands, Jiraiya stood up, ready to put an end to the Chunin Exam.
"Well... this is the end of the Chunin Exam. Thank you very much..."
"Wait!"
A sudden voice interrupted Jiraiya. Jiraiya took a deep breath and felt exhausted.
Sure enough, there is something strange again...
Following the sound, Sasuke took a step forward with a cold look.
"What's the matter with this Kumogakure player?"
"Seven years ago, Shimura Danzo betrayed the Uchiha clan and attempted to exchange the lives of the Uchiha clan leader and the clan's geniuses for the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki from Kumogakure."
"As a result, that idiot underestimated my master's position in Kumogakure, and Kumogakure handed over the information to Uchiha, which led to the Uchiha's escape to Kumogakure. Your Excellency Hokage should not have forgotten this incident, right?"
As Sasuke finished his words, the audience, who were originally dissatisfied with the hasty ending of the Chunin Exam, fell silent again.
Then I listened again, it was Danzo Shimura again?
"Now, no matter what that guy named Danzo does, I won't be surprised..."
Temari stood beside Naruto holding an iron fan, her tone teasing.
"You may not understand, but that guy likes to satisfy his own selfish desires under the banner of the village. His only dream in life is to become Hokage, but you may not know why he wants to be Hokage."
Naruto added cheerfully, "That guy was a member of the Shadow Guard of the Second Hokage. When the Second Hokage went to Kumogakure to sign the treaty, he happened to encounter the coup d'état of the Kinkaku and Ginkaku brothers."
"During the retreat, the Second Hokage suggested that someone be left behind to cover the retreat, but that guy was too timid to ask. As a result, the Third Hokage suggested staying behind to cover the retreat, and that's why he was chosen as the successor by the Second Hokage."
"The one who stayed behind to cover the retreat was naturally the Second Hokage, but unfortunately that guy didn't have a very good eye for people, and his disciples were all good-for-nothings, and their strength was far from being as strong as his desire for power."
"Uchiha Kagami is the only one who is as good as the Third Hokage in all aspects. It is rumored that he died to save Danzo. Hehe..."
Naruto crossed his arms and casually put the blame on this group of people again.
"Interestingly, Orochimaru transplanted Hashirama cells into Danzo's severed hand, and the only thing in the world that can balance Hashirama's cells is the Sharingan."
"That's right... Danzo's right eye happens to be a Sharingan."
